  3. Can't be operated under pressure/vacuum
  4. Can't be used for separation of fine suspended solids from a liquid

Correct answer: (A)
Operate at higher speed

288. Tank filter (e.g., Nutsche filter) is

  1. A high pressure filter
  2. A continuous filter
  3. Used for small scale filtration work
  4. A leaf filter

Correct answer: (C)
Used for small scale filtration work

289. Temperature of the product during ultrafine grinding

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Remain constant
  4. May increase or decrease; depends on the material being ground

Correct answer: (A)
Increases

290. The basic filtration equation is given as dt/dV = (μ/A ΔP). [(α .CV/A) + Rm], where, V is volume of the filtrate; A is the filtration area, a is specific cake resistance, μ is viscosity of the filtrate, and C is the concentration of the solids in the feed slurry. In a 20 minutes constant rate filtration, 5 m3 of filtrate was obtained. If this is followed by a constant pressure filtration, how much more time in minutes, it will take for another 5 m3 of filtrate to be produced? Neglect filter medium resistance, Rm; assume incompressible cake.

  1. 10
  2. 20
  3. 25
  4. 30

Correct answer: (B)
20
